Rio De Janeiro, Oct. 6 -- Uncapped Nottingham Forest goalkeeper John Victor has been called up to Brazil's squad for friendlies against South Korea and Japan, the Brazilian Football Confederation said.

The 29-year-old replaces Ederson, who was released after suffering a torn hamstring while training with his club Fenerbahce on Saturday.

John joined Nottingham Forest in August from Botafogo, with whom he won last year's Brazilian Serie A and Copa Libertadores double.
